The Tearsmith (2024)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

The more time passes, the more I realize I was too harsh on the Twilight series - particularly the first film. The Tearsmith is the latest version of the good girl, dangerous boy doomed romance YA novel adaptation genre. The leads have great chemistry, which means it will definitely appeal to its target audience. Older viewers will roll their eyes at the melodrama, meaning they might enjoy it too - if they like chuckling at bad films.

Orphaned when her parents die in a car crash, eight-year-old Nica is sent to the oppressive Sunnycreek Orphanage, overseen by the cruel Margaret Stoker (Sabrina Paravicini). Nicknamed “The Grave”, the orphanage is a dreadful place where children are physically and emotionally abused when they misbehave. Years later, a teenage Nica is adopted by Anna and Norman Milligan (Roberta Rovelli and Orlando Cinque). As she’s about to leave with her new parents, the brooding and acidic Rigel (Simone Baldasseroni) catches the Milligans’ attention. They decide to adopt him as well. Despite her best efforts, Nica has always been attracted to Rigel. Now, she’ll be free to act upon her feelings - for better or worse.

You're wondering what this film has in common with the 2008 high schooler-vampire romance. That's because you haven't seen Simon Baldasseroni's Rigel. With his chiseled abs, dark hair, pale complexion and push-me-pull-me attitude towards Nica, he’s almost a carbon copy of Edward Cullen. There’s even a scene where he saves her from walking into oncoming traffic. Every time he and Nica interact, their conversation is capped by a disgruntled remark about how she should stay away. If only she could. In her defense, his efforts to distance himself seem halfhearted. He gets obsessively and dangerously jealous of the classmate who asks her out, Lionel (Alessandro Bedetti). But Rigel and Nica could never be an item because "she deserves a fairytale ending and he’s a wolf" (Werewolf? I wish). Everyone knows wolves are the villains in all fairytales, so you should stay away from them (despite what Nica’s mother said before she passed). In summary, he’s too broken and dangerous to be loved! Oh, and they're "brother & sister".

You can tell The Tearsmith is based on a novel from the subplots and secondary characters. There’s Asia (Juju Di Domenico), the girl who dated the Milligan’s now-dead son and still mourns him, Nica's one friend from the orphanage, Adeline (Eco Andriolo), and her new best friends at school: Billie (Nicky Passarella) and Miki (Sveva Romana Candelletta). You could've cut them all out without affecting the main plot. Once you understand that, everything becomes a cliché. Every year, someone anonymously sends Billie flowers and a love letter. You should be able to deduce the identity of the secret admirer without problem. Remember that the book was written in 2021 and that all the subplots are essentially self-contained and ultimately, superfluous.

In a way, the villainous Margaret Stoker is also unnecessary because there’s so much going on in this movie. Nica survived a traumatic car crash and spent years in an orphanage. She didn’t also need to be messed up by a Jonathan Crane-like headmistress. Her possible romance with Rigel would’ve already been taboo/strained because they’re adoptive siblings. We didn’t need an enemy making things more difficult for them. Gloomy Rigel is already doing plenty on his own.

The Tearsmith (a title that's explained at the beginning but doesn’t quite make sense to me) often generates awkward laughs. More than once, the plot moves at break-neck speed, making you wonder if these people’s emotions are always taking them for a roller-coaster ride, or if we’re just skipping through weeks - if not months - worth of events. Criminal acts, including attempted murder, are never reported to the police. Then, there’s the not-really, but sorta incestuous romance between Rigel and Nica, which will have you screaming “Nooooo!” Over and over.

All that said, I can understand why this film has proven so popular on Netflix. Simone Baldasseroni and Caterina Ferioli have terrific chemistry. There are many scenes where you wonder if this is going to be their first kiss, or if Rigel’s dark side is going to pop up again, which makes the film exciting. The two are not related, which makes the scenario sort of appealing for teens who won't realize how demented a romance this is. One thing’s for sure, you love to hate the villains (yes, there's more than one). Does that mean I recommend it for teenagers? Not quite. There are too many romantic double standards and the backward attitude about how you should comfort someone who's been attacked kills a lot of its romance - but it’s close. I will also note that the film is rated R for nudity (don’t worry, everyone at the time it takes place is eighteen years old), so, you know, there’s that.

The Tearsmith is entertaining - sometimes the way it intends to be. Generally, however, it’s a bizarre mashup of Dickensian orphanage drama and Stephenie Meyer-brand romance. My least favorite thing about the film is that unlike 50 Shades of Grey, 365 Days, After and so many other Twilight clones, The Tearsmith does not end in a to-be-continued. Instead, it abruptly tells us the fate of the most important characters and ignores everyone else. At least you can’t accuse it of overstaying its welcome.
